Description

When a C++ project is named Test on a Binary version of the editor, the project will fail to compile. I'm assuming this is from the editor seeing a precompiled header from another file in the engine called Test.h.

This also occurs with projects named "Core"

Update
======
Performing a non-hot reload build in Visual Studio will complete successfully.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open a Binary version of the engine
  2. Create a new C++ project named "Test" (without the quotes)

Result: The initial compilation fails and shows the following message:

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Expected: Either this should be possible or the Unreal Project Launcher should prevent the project from being named Test
